During the early development of Galileo many of the decisions were made based on the idea of keeping the initial financial investment on our end to a minimum. One of the items that was cut from the budget was digitally signing our code.

There are thousands of file formats out there in the world today. We have prioritized our support based on the frequency of use in the academic space. Here is a comprehensive list of the file types we support and what checks can be ran against them.

Some learning management systems allow educators to download submissions as a compressed file for portability. When Galileo comes across a compressed file when its processing a target directory it can do one of two things.

In an attempt to being a good citizen on your operating system, whenever Galileo comes across a file or path that contains a bad character it tries to fix it for you. Sometimes, it is not possible, and you will see a warning about a file not being moved/renamed and ignored.

The first release of Galileo for public consumption. After a month of turning what was an internal tool into a commercially viable product, it is time to get Galileo into the hands of educators worldwide.

A major factor in the creation of Galileo was the difficulty of finding a clear and comprehensive explanation of pricing models used by its competitors. That’s not how we play this game. We provide a complete and transparent breakdown of our pricing model, as well as some of the contributing factors.

Galileo was created for educators, without a thought of the competition. It was originally an internal tool developed for a family member. It emerged from it’s shell and grew into something much more when a market assessment determined that educators’ needs were not being met by the competition. An alternative was born.

A word of caution to educators storing and accessing files on network drives. While an entirely acceptable means of storing submissions, there is a potential bottleneck based on the performance of your network infrastructure.

Yes, we are! In our experience, game developers are some of the brightest and most awesome individuals you will ever meet. In a field where optimizing code to shave a few milliseconds off of frame time matters; any project backed by that caliber of developer is going to stand out.

As seen in our transparent pricing article, we breakdown the different contributing factors to the pricing of Galileo. This transparency has led to some questions regarding our competitors models. Here are our opinions, albeit biased.
